Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar


For more than a century, Carnegie Mellon University has challenged the curious and passionate to imagine and deliver work that matters.

A private, top-ranked and global university, Carnegie Mellon sets its own course with programs that inspire creativity and collaboration.


In 2004, Carnegie Mellon and Qatar Foundation began a partnership to deliver select programs that will contribute to the long-term development of Qatar.

Today, Carnegie Mellon Qatar offers undergraduate programs in biological sciences, business administration, computational biology, computer science, and information systems. Nearly 450 students from 60 countries on five continents call Carnegie Mellon Qatar home.

The graduating Class of 2023 include the first CMU-Q graduates from Eswatini, Ethiopia, Lesotho, and Mongolia; and more than 41% speak three languages or more.

Qatar Foundation


Qatar Foundation (QF) is a not-for-profit organization where centers and programs focused on education, research and innovation, and community development intertwine for the benefit of Qatar, and the world.


Across QF's unique ecosystem - which is supported by partnerships with leading international institutions - QF is addressing Qatar's most pressing challenges; creating local, regional, and global impact; and empowering people to shape both the present and the future.


Qatar Foundation invited Carnegie Mellon to join Education City, a groundbreaking center for scholarship and research, and in 2004, Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar opened its doors with 41 students.

CMU-Q conducts its education and research mission under CMU direction and in 2023 we will award 105 CMU degrees to graduates.

Education City

Education City (EC) is the flagship initiative of Qatar Foundation. Located on the western edge of Doha, the campus spreads over 1,000 hectares or 2,500 acres. Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar's campus is located in Education City.


Supported by ample residential and recreational facilities, the Education Section of Qatar Foundation is a community of institutions serving the whole citizen, from early childhood education to post-graduate study.


Education City is a hub for the generation of knowledge, providing researchers with world-class facilities and opportunities for international collaboration, while preparing future graduates to become leaders in Qatar and the region.

Chief Information Officer


The Chief Operations Officer (COO) reports directly to the Dean and is responsible for leading diverse areas of the Qatar campus operations, specifically, Human Resources, Business Office, Facilities, Finance, and Safety and Security.

The COO will serve as the Secretary of the CMU-Q Joint Advisory Board (an advisory body jointly appointed by CMU and QF) and make arrangements for the Board's business.

They will be an active participant in both CMU main campus and CMU-Q committees and working groups.


The COO is a senior member of the management team who collaborates with the CMU-Q Dean, Senior Management Team, and Senior colleagues from the main campus in Pittsburgh in setting and driving organizational vision and operations strategy which supports the mission and strategic goals of CMU-Q.


The COO supports strategic and institutional effectiveness planning while maintaining close relationships with main campus leadership and operational departments and liaises with Education City schools and Qatar Foundation.

The COO provides the leadership and management necessary to assure that CMU-Q has effective operational controls, administrative and reporting procedures, and people, processes, and systems in place to sustain its growth and development.

The COO also fosters and supports the campus community initiatives for sustainability and a good campus climate.

The appointee will be responsible for the following:

  • Work with CMU-Q Senior Leadership to advance the University's mission.
  • Develop and manage critical relationships with key partners within CMU-Q and at CMU to lead continued integration of all operational aspects in support of CMU-Q's core academic mission. Coordinate with relevant main campus teams on areas of joint interest, cross campus collaboration, testing of new initiatives and other areas concerning policy and program implementation.
  • Support the overall mission and goals of CMUQ by providing counsel and guidance on issues related to the entire organization, with an emphasis on strategic planning, policy/program development and implementation, allocation of financial resources, and organizationa
